     summary: SEeing it hath pleased God out of his gracious will and pleasure , to cause me to cast my Eye upon this Common-wealth of England , my native Country , ( and your three Kingdomes ; ) and viewing there , to behold the sad and lamentable condition , that now , and for many years past , it hath been intangled in ; which as Reason and Conscience together perswades me , is occasioned chiefly for want of its ancient and ever customed way of Government , ( to wir ) a King and Parliament , which hath been unsetled altogether amongst us , ever since the unhappy death of your Majesties late father our King ; by reason whereof , our ancient and accustomed wholesome Laws both of Church and State , are most strangely torn and massacred ; and all through the self-seeking ends of some certain persons , which at present I judge not fit herein to be communicated , who having gotten the power of the sword in their hands , thought for ever to rule and reign over their opposers ; ( I think in spight of God or man : ) Right honourable , HAving received notice , that there was a force put upon the Parliament on the twelfth of this instant , I have sent this Messenger to your Lordship , to know whether that force doth continue ; for I am resolved by the Grace and Assistance of GOD , as a true English-man , to stand to and assert the Liberty and Authority of PARLIAMENT ; And the Army here , ( praised be God ) is very couragious and unanimous , and I doubt not but to give a good accompt of this action to You.

And there must be in Christs Kingdome a perfect Law made for all occasion , and according to the Gospel , a Law that needeth not to be altered every foot , but it must be such a Law as nothing shall be added to it , or taken from it ; that every one may know his rule and the punishment of his errour , and the said Law must be truly and speedily executed upon the offenders , else it profiteth nothing , for so long as our Law is imperfect , and that our Parliaments are alwaies making and nulling Laws , we shall never be quiet or come to rest according to Gods promise which saith , Heb. 4. 9. there is a rest for the people of God , and the Lord is well pleased for his righteousnesse Lands and states in rich mens hands , and they could not deny it ? but told them in a bravado they would spend in law thousands before they should get it : and the poor knowing aforehand the course of the law was content to loose their Right , and it was wisdome in them so to do ; seeing their going to law will not relieve them , being sure it will make their condition worse ; what a sad thing is it for men to live under such a law , let all good just reasonable men judge , such doings are not to be in Christs Kingdome .

     summary: 3. I do acknowledge that the Army hath been in the hand of God and instruments of good to these Nations , yet if they shall apostate from the Cause of God and his people in exposing them to Arbitrary Power , and the wills of men , in taking upon them to Abollish Lawes , raise money without consent of the people , destroy Ministery and property , and force Parliaments , I cannot but witness against such proceedings as unwarrantable not suted to any rule either from God or man . These enclosed Papers will fully certefie you , that we have just grounds of dissatisfaction , and that we cannot comply with such violent and unwarrantable undertakings , both against our reason as men , and against our Consciences as Christians , that you and we should take our Commissions and pay from the Parliament and yet to violate their Authority , after such solemn assurances of obedience and faithfulness , contrary to the expressed word of God , and our own late Addresses , I hope I am so well known to some of you , that I am none of those that seek great things to my self , or delight in the sheding the bloud of English men , much lesse of Christian Brethren , but to preserve the name of God from blasphemy and reproach , which our actings ( I wish I could not call them ) treacherousness and perfidiousness have occasioned ; whereby Jesus Christ and his truth have been evil spoken of , which makes our very lives bitter to us , and to assert the integrity and honour of this Army , which is very dear to me , I have been forced with the Parliaments Army under my command , ( though with much grief of heart ) to bear our Testimony against the late violence of the Army ; and the reasons thereof you will find in our printed papers , & our endeavours to perswade them in England to remove that force which they have put upon the Parliament .

     summary: The King did lay to their charge that they had a design to alter the Ancient Governments of the Nation , and to let a flood of errours and heresies into the Church , and that thereupon he was forced to take up armes for his own defence , and the defence of Religion ; and now if these men do indeed alter the Government , as they intend to do ; and do set open a door to all Errors and Heresies , as they have begun to do ; do they not thereby justifie the King before God and men ( for whoever yet questioned but that it was lawful for a King to defend Religion , and his just Authority against those that seek to subvert them ) and do they not hereby bring upon themselves the guilt of all the blood that hath been shed in England , and we are very loath you should share with them in that guilt . These things make us fear ; but when we consider that these Declarations were made by you when you were in Scotland , or in the remotest parts of England , where you neither did nor could know the sense of the English Nation ; we hope that now God hath brought you among us , where you may hear the sighs and groans of your Brethren , and from our own mouthes understand what we groan under , and what we groan after , God may put other thoughts , and other resolutions into your heart then what you have yet published or declared to the world .
